Zortman Part 2 - Little Church on a Hill

At the western end of Zortman is a little church on a very steep hill.  It was built in 1940 and still in use.

Above is a view of the church from the trail at the base of the hill.

I didn't realize how steep the hill was until I started on my way up.

Almost to the top.

Welcome to the little church at the top of the hill.

Look at all those evergreen trees behind the sign!

At Christmas time the star on the belltower lights up.

The building is in reasonably good condition.  During the warmer months Mass is held on Saturday afternoons at 4:00 p.m.

The altar...the statues are elegant and well-crafted.

Facing back...the church seats about fifty to sixty people.  As far as I could tell it appears mostly original both inside and out (with the exception of electricity being added at a later date).

The cross on top of the belltower.  Yes, there is still a bell inside the tower and yes again, I had to ring the bell!
